Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2 notice is hereby given that on July 31, 2012, NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc. (‘‘BX’’ or the ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) a proposed rule change as described in Items I, II and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit 1 15 2 17 PO 00000 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). CFR 240.19b–4. Frm 00087 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Terms of the Substance of the Proposed Rule Change BX proposes to modify BX’s fee schedule governing order routing. BX will implement the proposed change on August 1, 2012. The text of the proposed rule change is available at https:// nasdaqomxbx.cchwallstreet.com/, at BX’s principal office, and at the Commission’s Public Reference Room. II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of those statements may be examined at the places specified in Item III [sic] below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant parts of such statements. A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose BX is making a minor modification to the schedule governing fees for use of its routing services. Effective August 1, 2012, the NASDAQ OMX PSX (‘‘PSX’’) facility of NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC (‘‘Phlx’’) is increasing the fees that it charges for accessing liquidity.3 Accordingly, BX is making conforming changes to the fees that it charges for routing orders to PSX. Under the modified fee schedule, BX will charge $0.0030 per share executed for orders that use the BSTG or BSCN routing strategies 4 (the same fee charged for routing to all venues other than the New York Stock Exchange (‘‘NYSE’’)), $0.0035 per share executed for orders that use the BMOP routing strategy (the same fee charged for routing to all venues other than NYSE), and will pass 3 See SR–Phlx–2012–102 (July 31, 2012). In making this change, Phlx undid a pricing change made for July 2012 and reverted to the pricing in effect prior to July 2, 2012. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 67387 (July 10, 2012), 77 FR 41838 (July 16, 2012) (SR–Phlx–2012–87). Similarly, BX adjusted its routing fees in July 2012 to reflect the change made by Phlx and is now reverting to the fees formerly in effect. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 67386 (July 10, 2012), 77 FR 41840 (July 16, 2012) (SR–BX–2012–044). 4 The functionality of BX’s various routing strategies is explained in BX Rule 4758.
